FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
“Alien Hominid” Lands on
PlayStation®2 Computer Entertainment System and Nintendo GameCube™
One of the Most Popular Internet Games of this Millennium Coming in a Bigger, Better Form!
SANTA CLARA, CA - (July 30, 2004)- O~3 Entertainment, an interactive entertainment publishing and distribution company, today announced it is taking custody of “Alien Hominid,” a short yellow alien with spherical black beady eyes, three teeth, and a little green gun. O~3 and game developer, The Behemoth, intend to feature Alien Hominid in its very own videogame for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and Nintendo GameCube™.
Alien Hominid, is the debut console title from O~3 Entertainment, and developer, The Behemoth. It is an evolution of classic 2D side-scrolling platform shooters, blending old school play mechanics with stunning hand drawn graphics (in other words, it looks pretty AND plays great).
Born on the internet in 2002, a prototype version of Alien Hominid has become one of the most downloaded games of all time, with over six million downloads from the entertainment portal www.newgrounds.com, the first of hundreds of websites now mirroring the prototype.
“We were immediately attracted to this game after seeing the prototype on the web,” commented Bill Gardner, CEO of O~3. “There’s a good reason why this game has over six million downloads – it’s truly original and addictive.”
About the Game
While joy riding in its new spaceship, Alien Hominid crash lands in front of FBI headquarters, and narrowly escapes with only its alien hide. Alien Hominid must find its spaceship and get off this rock before its vicious human enemies find it and cart it off to Area 51. Along the way A.H. relies on its deadly melee skills and advanced weapons to out smart the ever-cunning enemies who want to probe it for alien secrets.
About Alien Hominid
Although half the size of a fully grown human, Alien Hominid has a voracious capacity to digest human skulls and is an expert marksman. The FBI and their mechanical marvels have been designed to keep A.H. from retrieving its UFO, but it will not be deterred. Hominid befriends the most unlikely of humans, who aid it with insane weapon upgrades. Alien Hominid will shoot, bomb, toss, eat and slash anything in its path – and bring on the heat in multiplayer co-op mode at any time.
